i have polaroid’s on my wall 
of all the boys i used to kiss.
 there are ***** dishes in the sink 
and i think this will be the year that 
i pretend to love people just because 
there’s nothing else to do. 
i spend my time reading poems about girls
 who have broken hearts and smoke cigarettes. 
i spend my time reading poems about girls 
 who rip their ribcage open just to find out
 that there is nothing left inside except 
empty beer bottles. 
i get drunk and slip into silk 
and realize that i am a combination of
 1/3 love and 2/3 champagne bubbles
 and i think to myself, 
"maybe this is what it’s like to be 
the hurricane instead of the rain."
